Dugu Hong used to have a happy family, even if he didnt think so .

His parents worked at big companies and earned nice salaries . They had a house, a flying car, and a robot, they were doing well .

But everything changed a year ago .

Dugu remembers that day, it was his parents 16th anniversary and his 15-year-old birthday .

His parents took the day off and drove to the place they first met . They met from a near-accident in the air .

That day was also when the high-speed air traffic system went into effect .

He waited until midnight and his parents still didnt come back .

His parents met from an accident that didnt happen and died together in an accident that did happen . It was irony, thought Dugu when he got the news .

The accident report said both people drank before the accident and were primarily responsible .

No insurance, no compensation, what savings they had didnt last after paying the fines .

They only drank a glass of wine before leaving and a small glass at that .

What was even more ironic . . . When the high-speed air traffic system was used, it would supposedly prevent all accidents, drinking and driving, and speeding . . .

The three men in front of him used to be Dugus school friends, and that was before the accident .

After the accident, things didnt change at first, it wasnt until after a while that Dugu could feel they were being distant .

What made everything change was when Dugu got his hands on the Index of the Duan Family while playing the game .

It was the key to learning the Yi Yang Finger .

After that night, when those men took off with the book, Dugu got stuck inside the game Jiang Hu . And in reality, the three of them constantly bullied Dugu too .

Dugu didnt understand why they acted that way and what made them change . Was it because they looked down on him? Or that they hated him? Or that they had a lot of repressed emotions?

How have you been? The leader of the three men, Zhang Yang, asked .

Did you try going into Jiang Hu again? Maybe you arent stuck anymore? Snorted Lei Zhuang, who had the most obnoxious laugh .

Well, everyone has bad luck sometimes, but you cant give up . In a game, you can always delete your account and start again, in real life though, are you gonna kill yourself? Said Lei Yuxuan . He had the kindest-looking face but the most vicious words .

Dugu backed up a step . The three of them were obviously here to start trouble . There was no one else on the school bus except for them and a girl in glasses .

The fact that the school bus even ran anymore actually was relevant, as long as the bus ran, even if no one was on it, the school got a sizable chunk of government funding .

Most families who made a decent living wouldnt have their kids ride this ancient vehicle .

When you have time, you should play Jiang Hu again . Come to Dali in Yunnan Province, well take care of you . Did you know our last names are all Duan now? Said Zhang .

The Duan family of Dali were known for their Yi Yang Finger martial arts . They had a secret mantra which only passed on in the family, and only to the men .

They were in the Duan family now?

They were here to show off .

Dugu understood .

I dont know who said this, but we in Dali are the proper sort of clan, we dont use down-low methods . I think hes the one with a problem, hah hah . Said Lei, followed by loud laughter from all three men .

Dugus face changed, he got a bad feeling .

I dont know who said this, but we in Dali are the proper sort of clan, we dont use down-low methods . I think hes the one with a problem, hah hah . Said Lei, followed by loud laughter from all three men .

Dugus face changed, he got a bad feeling .

Hey, were gonna make our own little group too, we have the guardians, but we do need a lackey --

Enough! A crisp voice interrupted the three mens lewd laughter . It came from Lin Ling .

Lin Ling was tall and slim, wore a ponytail and had a healthy-looking tan . She liked to stick up for the little guys, while she was not the prettiest in school, she was definitely popular with everyone .

Dugu thought he was special to her once upon a time .

But shes with Zhang Yang now .

Everything she said just made him feel worse .

Stop it . You guys know hes sick, why are you bothering him? Even if you insulted him, he wont feel a thing . Youre so immature .

Sick?

Yes, Dugu is sick .
